Character · from book 1
Agatha
A homeless woman with a shopping cart, an IKEA bag of spray paint and a pink flamingo with an arrow through its head, who set fire to the eldercare facility and walked down the dungeon's stairs cackling. Level two without ever going through the tutorial. She is edited out of the recap episode, and her cart is not what it seems.
Race and class, since book 1: Human
First appears: Book 1
Series arc
As of book 3. The series' first mystery: the homeless woman who burned Meadow Lark, made the dungeon build her a ramp, was edited out of the recap, and carried Valtay hardware in her cart. Absent in book 2; in book 3 she arrives at the station 36 stairwell at level 8, human, no class, the flamingo still in the cart, and the stairs become a ramp. Carl stops Imani from asking her anything.

Through book 1
The series' first mystery. Book 1 gives the facts and withholds the explanation: she set the fire that emptied Meadow Lark, the dungeon made her a ramp, she is edited out of the recap, her cart carried Valtay Corporation hardware including an illegal communications relay, the feed drops while she descends, and she tells Carl 'You worry about you, and I worry about me' (B1 ch. 47). Carl decides not to get involved. Odette's word for the Valtay is 'parasitic' (B1 ch. 48).
Through book 2
Absent, and pointedly so: Carl decides not to write about her to Brandon (B2 ch. 8). The Valtay are all over the floor without her.
Through book 3
Level 8, human, no class, the flamingo still in the cart: she makes the stairs at station 36 a ramp and goes down ahead of Carl, and Carl stops Imani from asking her anything (B3 ch. 34).

By book
Agatha in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
A homeless woman with a shopping cart, an IKEA bag of spray paint and a flamingo with an arrow through it, who burned Meadow Lark, walked into the dungeon first, and turned its stairs into a ramp by pushing her cart at them (ch. 22). Level two without a tutorial. She pushes into the boss fight uninvited, Carl takes her cart into inventory and she screams about it until the pigs rain down (ch. 26, ch. 27); the achievement for it, Bully and a Thief, comes up in ch. 30. Then she is gone down the ramp, ahead of everyone, edited out of the recap (ch. 31), leaving grub corpses for them to find (ch. 30).
The inventory History tab is the reveal (ch. 47): three Valtay Corporation items — a pulse pistol, a personal shield, an illegal communications relay — passed through Carl's hands inside her cart. She wheels into the stairwell chamber as he reads it, calls him a cart thief, and gives him one look that says stop; the feed is out while she descends. 'Them critters already know I'm here. They just don't know what to do about it.'

Agatha in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
One appearance, at the end: level 8, still human, still classless, the flamingo still in the cart, turning the stairs at station 36 into a ramp and going down first. Carl stops Imani from intercepting her: 'We'll talk later' (ch. 34).
